Optional Keypad and Barcode Reader
Using the Optional Keypad
If the Thumb-wheel method is too slow for
entering Header IDs , then you should add a
keypad (optional) to the portable.
The keypad operates in the same way as a
telephone keypad with the following exceptions:
[#]
Press the [#] key, or DONE, to complete an entry.
[*]
Press the [*] key, or CLR, to clear the entry and start over.
Keypad Dictation
1 Press NEW.
2 Use the keypad to enter the Header ID numbers.
Use the [*] key, if needed, to clear your entry and start over.
3 Press [#], or DONE, to save your entry and move the next header.
Using the Optional Barcode Reader
Attaching a Barcode Reader to your portable
can dramatically increase the speed at which
you can enter Header IDs. The Barcode
Reader consists of a wand (left) and a
Diagnostic button (right). The Thumb-wheel
will activate the wand (visible red light) for
scanning.
Barcode Reader Dictation
1 Press NEW to start a new recording.
2 Press the Thumb-wheel to activate the wand.
3 Starting from either side of the barcode, pass the wand across
the barcode while maintaining contact with it.
You’ll hear a beep if the scan is good.
4 Press the Thumb-wheel to save the scanned IDs and move to the
next header.
